Origami has recently received significant interest from the scientific community as a method
for designing building blocks to construct metamaterials. However, the primary focus has …

In nature, materials such as ferroelastics and multiferroics can switch their microstructure in
response to external stimuli, and this reconfiguration causes a simultaneous modulation of …

Origami crease patterns have inspired the design of reconfigurable materials that can
transform their shape and properties through folding. Unfortunately, most designs cannot …

Although broadly admired for its aesthetic qualities, the art of origami is now being
recognized also as a framework for mechanical metamaterial design. Working with the Miura …

Origami structures, whose mechanical properties can be tuned by programing the crease
network, have been sought in application including DNA origami nanorobots and …

Origami-based design holds promise for developing new mechanical metamaterials whose
overall kinematic and mechanical properties can be programmed using purely geometric …

Developing mechanical metamaterials with programmable properties is an emerging topic
receiving wide attention. While the programmability mainly originates from structural …

Origami-inspired engineering has enabled intelligent materials and structures to process
and react to environmental stimuli. However, it is challenging to achieve complete sense …

We investigate the unique mechanical properties of reentrant 3D origami structures based
on the Tachi-Miura polyhedron (TMP). We explore the potential usage as mechanical …

Origami engineering principles have recently been applied to a wide range of applications,
including soft robots, stretchable electronics, and mechanical metamaterials. In order to …
